  New Nation, a liberated state in dumbo
  http://www.destinationnewnation.com
  (here we declare independence)
  For twelve hours, on this midsummer's night, explore the space between revelry and revolution - between seduction and sedition. Guerilla video projections and performance patrols guide you through Dumbo's cobble stoned canyons of concrete and steel to 60,000 sq ft of indoor and outdoor space at the river's edge. There - in five areas of music and performance, of voyeurs and visionaries, of djs and decadence, of drinks and debauchery - is your land of the free, your newnation...
  (here we manifest destiny)
  The newnation is built on a landscape of performance, interactive installations and spontaneous acts of harmony. The stage is endless, the audience is infinite and the performer is you (all of us)...

Protest Action (ad hoc)
Atlas Statue at Rockefeller Center, 5th Ave btw 50/51st.

Filter from different directions. This protest is a NO to this administration. Anti-war, anti-corporatism, anti-environmental destruction, anti-obliteration of the constitution, pro real democracy, expression and dissent. The protest vibe is fun loud. I’ve always wanted to read HOWL at an action, so am. It’s personal catharsis time, like in the old punk rock days when some guy would grab the mic and go off. Pure freedom. The crazier, the better.

When things reach a peak we’re going to die into 5thAvenue. Shut down traffic. No biz as usual. But all levels of engagement are welcome. Things go better for everyone when there are more people there. The ideal is that there is so many people on the sidewalk that we organically shut down the street. Picture it: a huge rave at 8:30 in the morning in the middle of 5thAvenue.

The Performers:
"There's a fine line between gypsy music and punk rock and the Luminescent Orchestrii falls off it every show. With three fiddlers, a bassist, and a guitarist who sweats enough for the five of them, the band stomps the stage, thumps their strings, and saws into their instruments. These are believers." -Nonsense NYC http://www.lumii.org/about.html

CNN Live Today - Feb 19
"Some lively political theater on the streets of New York may be a preview of what we'll see during this summer's Republican convention. About 100 protesters dressed in top hats and tuxedoes, calling themselves "Billionaires for Bush," and they were greeted yesterday by an actor imitating Bush political adviser Karl Rove. The real Karl Rove was speaking nearby at a fund-raiser that netted, by the way, about $400,000."
